Claim 1

A tool holder for storing wrenches which have an elongated shank and first and second spaced apart jaws at one end of said shank, said tool holder being vertically orientable and, thus oriented, having an upper end, a lower end, a front, sides and a back, the tool holder in a vertical orientation comprising: a series of tool rests disposed in side-by-side relationship, each of said tool rests extending from near the upper end to the lower end of the holder and having one edge at the back of the tool holder, an opposed second, stop-providing edge for the shank of a wrench stored in said holder, a lower end and a beveled upper end which provides a seat for a jaw of a wrench installed in the holder; partitions sandwiching adjacent tool rests, a said partition and a side wall component sandwiching each of the outermost tool rests, said partitions and side wall components having portions lying beyond the second edges of the tool rests at the front of the tool so that said partitions are capable of embracing the shanks of wrenches stored in said tool holder and keeping said wrenches from shifting from side to side in said holder; and a pin extending from side to side through the tool holder, said pin being spaced above the beveled upper ends of said tool rests so as to engage wrench jaws seated on said tool rests and so trap said jaws on said rests as to keep wrenches stored in the tool holder from dropping out of said holder.
